Hello from London

I've been smoking a pipe, on and off, since I was 21 - so for about 27 years. It began as an act of rebellion, changed to an affectation, and now it's pure pleasure. I enjoy pretty much any smoke as long as it's not head-hammeringly strong, or too heavily cased and synthetic, though particularly like straight Virginias or light Latakia blends. These days I own more pipes than I'd care to count, and intend to keep manufacturers in business for some time to come. Glad to meet you all.
